Ephesians 6:10-11 encourages us to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. This is not something we can do on our own, but it is something that God does for us.

God is our mighty protector and defender, and He has given us the gift of His strength so that we can stand against the schemes of the devil. The devil is powerful and sly, and his schemes are often hidden and deceptive. He is a master of deception and will use any means necessary to lead us astray.

He wants to pull us away from God and His word, and if we are not strong in the Lord, then we are vulnerable to his attacks. But we have a powerful weapon against the devil: the strength of God. When we choose to put on the whole armor of God, we are putting on the strength of the Lord.

We are taking up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the sword of the spirit. With this armor, we can stand against the schemes of the devil, no matter how powerful he is.

The devil will try to deceive us and make us doubt God’s power and faithfulness. But when we are strong in the Lord, we can stand firm in our faith and trust that God is with us and will protect us from all harm. We can be sure that He will fight for us and will never leave us or forsake us. God’s strength is not just for us, though. It is also for those around us.

When we are strong in the Lord, we can be a light to those who are walking in darkness. We can be a source of encouragement and hope to those who are struggling in their faith. We can be a witness to the power of God’s strength and how it is greater than any force of evil. Being strong in the Lord means more than just having faith in God. It means actively seeking Him and His strength in our lives.

It means trusting in Him and His word and relying on Him for every step we take. It means looking to Him for guidance and for protection from the schemes of the enemy.

So, let us stand strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Let us put on the whole armor of God and take up the shield of faith. Let us be a witness to the power of God’s strength and be a light to those who are walking in darkness. Let us trust in Him and rely on Him for every step we take. In this way, we will remain strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

People want to know why they were born and what their purpose in life is. To understand the answers to these questions is to understand God’s creation. Let’s look at the four laws of creation: design, meaning, purpose, and assignment.

The Bible speaks quite emphatically against gossip and spreading malicious rumors about others. Not only is gossip detrimental to individuals, but it also has the potential to hurt entire communities.

The Bible speaks often of loneliness, and it has several positive examples of people enduring and overcoming it. While the Bible does not directly address the issue of loneliness, it does provide much comfort and direction for those who feel alone.
